My paintings are predominantly inspired by Ancient Egypt and mythology stories from the ancient world. I wish to create imagined landscapes of the Afterlife, where an arena of characters dwell in this "land in-between". Recurrent themes of loss, ritual and rebirth are are presented within disguised narratives.

​​

Each work goes through many transitional layers before arriving at a final conclusion. This working method directs the narrative and final outcome of each piece. Providing the opportunity for happy accidents to occur through the materials used.

​

Final works usually consist of contemplative characters, lost in thought, looking outwith the scene being presented to the viewer. Something has either happened or is about to happen. There is a sense of purpose. A story untold. Secrets unrevealed. As viewers we are interrupting a specific moment of the drama.
